Concrete scanning

Locate embedded targets before coring, saw cutting or drilling.

Start here

When to call for this

  • Coring for plumbing, electrical or mechanical work
  • Saw cutting a slab
  • Drilling anchors
  • Working on a post-tensioned slab
  • Investigating embedded targets or slab thickness changes

Method

What we do on site

We scan the requested area with high-frequency concrete GPR and mark supported targets on the surface. The scan pattern is based on the planned cut, core or drill locations.

Flex NX collects standard and cross-polarized data in one pass. The compact NX25 is used for walls, ceilings and tight areas when access allows.

Deliverable

What you get

  1. Surface markings in the requested area
  2. Photographs of the completed markings
  3. A record of scope, findings and limitations
  4. A written report when included in the quote

The boundary

What this can’t tell you

Concrete GPR is an interpretation, not physical exposure. Dense reinforcement, metal deck, target orientation, access, moisture and concrete condition can obscure targets.

We explain what was resolved and where additional verification may be appropriate. Appropriate cutting and drilling practices still apply.
